Wake Me Up

The Chase

As Jade walked home from Andrea's house, she stopped by Starbucks to get a cinnamon dolce late with a shot of expresso. When she got there the guy standing behind the counter was Jacob. They said hi and talked for a while, than the man behind Jade in line got pissed, so Jacob finished their conversation with a
"Would you like to go see a movie tonight"
Of couse with Jade replying yes.

After she got home to her house her mother was strung out on the couch, with a glazed over expression on her face. Jade tried to walk into the house as quitely as she could after seeing her mother, but she had mistakingly aroused the monster. She woke up and looked at Jade and yelled "What the fuck are you doing here?! Who the fuck are you?!' She then chucked the beer bottle at Jade's head. Jade having a sufficent ammount of caffine and good reflexes ducked and heard the bottle crash against the front door.

"Mom, what the hell is your problem!"

Her mother than lurched towards her and Jade flinched away. She heard a voice coming from her mother's bedroom that yelled,
"Rachel, what is going on in there?"

"Shit" Jade thought "Another one of Mom's men that she whores with."
Jade than ran out the door, not wanting to face the man her mother slept with the night before. She ran down the appartment stairs and sat in the dank, dark lobby of the appartment building and cried.

She heard her the man from the appartment coming down the stairs screaming at the top of his lungs. Jade got up and grabed her backpack and ran out the front door of the complex. She ran into the alley besides her appartment, quickly passing the taggers, and a homeless man. She ran to the end of the alley and stopped-dead end. She thought to herself
"Why the hell did I run down this alley, why didn't I run across the street or somewhere other than this godforsaken alley?"
Before she had time to think, or hide for that matter she heard a
"Hey, where the hell do you think your going, get your ass over here!"

He ran over to Jade and attempted to sling a fist at her, but she was able to move fast enough to dodge that bullet, but wasn't prepared for the next. He than kicked her in the stomach, which caused her to fall on her knees and lay on the wet hard brick. While she was down, the man kicked her in the face and the in ribs, and left her there to suffer.
